Is Floyd Mayweather overrated?

Mayweather literally weighed in the 140s in the ring as a Welterweight.

He regularly weighed the WW limits WEEKS before fights.

This is REPEATEDLY documented.

Hatton on the other hand emaciated to make 140 and literally looked like a famine victim on the scales before getting in the ring in the mid 150s.

He had shorter limbs but was much more strongly built. His legs, neck, shoulders were all far more muscular than Mayweathers

These are the HBO fight night weights from Mayweathers career.

Mayweather 139 G. Hernandez 139
Mayweather 138 Manfredy 139
Mayweather 135 Gerena 135
Mayweather 136 Juuko 140
Mayweather 139.5 Vargas 141
Mayweather 136.5 Corrales 146
Mayweather 139 C. Hernandez 137
Mayweather 137.5 Chavez 136
Mayweather 138.5 Castillo 147.5
Mayweather 138 Castillo 147 (rematch)
Mayweather 140 Sosa 145
Mayweather 140 Ndou 147
Mayweather 145 Corley 144
Mayweather 142 Bruseles 150
Mayweather 148 Mitchell 155
Mayweather 146 Judah 150
Mayweather 149 Baldomir 162

Later on
Mayweather 150 Canelo 165

For the Pacquaio fight, we weighed 150lbs 30 DAYS before the fight.
For Ortiz, he weighed 149 at the 30 day weigh in.

Mayweather was never a "weight bully"
Its literally the last thing you could ever claim about him.

 

Hey idiot, Ward didn’t weigh 168 on fight night. That’s a terrible example.

 

Yes.

He's nowhere near the greatest of all time, not even top 10.

He is the best of this century so far, but there were multiple boxers in the 20th century who were better.

 

These are all from HBO, he didnt "always refuse to get weighed on fight night!

Thats about as true as you thinking he fought Barrera.

Still think he "Floyd always refused to weiogh in on fight night"???

 

Biggest draw post his fight with DLH. His numbers before that weren't so hot.

 

Pacquiao said he's the GOAT, but I don't think he's overrated based on the fact that he said that. Larry Holmes said he's TBE, but I don't think he's at all overrated, because he himself said that. I mean, is that the standard for if you're overrated? That you yourself overrate you?

 

Now When did Pacquiao ever call himself the GOAT of all terms?

 

Him and Pac are mostly rated where they belong, top 25 atg. I actually see more pac fans over rate him than floyd. The whole tbe thing is a gimmick and more of a brand.

 

They all start somewhere but even before oscar he still drew well on ppv.

 

2010, 60 Minutes episode. Now, entertain the idea that the reason you don't know this isn't because he didn't say it or didn't believe it, but because he didn't look or sound like Mayweather when he did.

 

@Perkin Warbeck has an agenda and he will stick to it by any means facts dont matter to him only his opinion.

 

I'm sorry but in sports weight is the only factor, hence weight class and not height/reach class

Floyd and manny where much lighter than many of the later opponents

Hatton being shorter or having reach disadvantage means nothing, whe he was likely the heavier man on the night

Nobody said Hearns was too big for Hagler, despite being much taller or longer

Weight had dam all to do with Floyd beating Hatton.

 

I never said on fight night. And the comparison still stands dipsh!t. Stick to your swim lane of trolling little girl.

 

good lord...I never said nor suggested it was the weight that Floyd beat Hatton? "Bigger" is a vague as hell term. And the bigger guy is NOT the one who might outweigh another fighter by a single pound. Some of you over think that sh!t...
